Why staying bedside won’t build wealth with Aisha Allen
About this episode
‘Staying bedside won’t bring you wealth!’ Dr. Kiiyonna Jones extraordinaire and your girl Christal Parker bring some honest truths to this episode of Nurse Boss Shift. Today they’re in conversation with Dr. Aisha Allen, a CRNA who’s earning good money ($225 an hour) but still wants to control her time.
What’s a CRNA? A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist who has specialized training in anesthesia. Dr. Allen made the sacrifice to study further and specialize as an anesthetist, and she now advises nurses on how to leave the bedside and get into real estate, short-term rentals, and explore other investment vehicles.
This episode is about inspiring nurses to believe they can achieve more in terms of time freedom by owning property, and that it’s okay to be about the money. There’s advice on checking your finances and your credit score, getting a financial cushion, and paying for knowledge.
Dr. Allen is a shining example of creating space between you and the bedside, and reaching your ‘ikigai’ as a nurse by making that Nurse Boss Shift. Her ambition is infectious; we’re sure you’ll be suitably inspired!
“My whole goal, though, is just really to help nurses to reach their ikigai and to love more of the life they’re living.”
